"The Office"

No, not the show.



My office...well, not MY office... Technically the office belongs to the Baldwin Park Industrial Center....But you get the picture.



In case I haven't told any of you... I work for my dad now. At a comapny called California Lighting Sales. They're a lighting brokerage. They...(or shall I say "we") are kind of the middle man between the people who manufacture lighting fixtures...and conractors.



Anyway, I work back in the accounting office..I do data entry, cover phones, file, tap dance, whatever they need done... sans the tap dance



Not terribly exciting... but it's a great job and I make pretty good money. And I work full time! YAY! Nepotism at its finest.



The office environment is a funny culture. In alot of ways, this office reminds me of the show. Complete with nutty employees... (present company excluded)



The same people take the same lunch everyday...they all have specific turns at the microwave...they all sit at the same place at the same table and watch the same soap opera everday. They even eat the same thing everyday. It's even the same basic conversation. It's amazing!



One of these days, I want to go sit in someone else's seat just to see what would happen. I'd probably be banned from the lunch room for all eternity. haha.

It's like clock work, though...its amazing

my boss asked me "do you know how to put things in numerical order?"

My response in my head "you mean can i count?"
My actual response:" Sure do!"

My Boss "Do you know how to alphabetize things?"
Response in my head:" do i know my ABC's? YEAH! Wanna sing along with me?I know my alphabet in 2 different languages, thankyouverymuch!"
Actual Response:" Yes m'am"

I think that's all I had to say about the office environment :)for now, at least...

OOH! I get a swipey badge to get in the gates and in the office...i have my own desk/cubicle a computer, even my own extension! YES! I AM important

The office building even has a gym...I plan to start working out on my lunch break...awesome!!
